Today's post isn't really going to be anything new, but it's one of those subjects that people need, apparently, constant reminding of when we're talking about successful fat loss.

What am I talking about? Any guesses?

I'm hoping it's obvious.

I'm talking about dietary adherence; that is basic compliance to your nutritional plan. This is and always will be the KEY to long-term, successful fat loss. I don't care how hard you train, I don't care how many metabolic workouts you do, or how much cardio you do, if you can't nail your diet week in and week out, you're short changing yourself of results.
